Zara had just safely landed in London, after a short flight from Niece.
Despite her "sickness", the singer managed to convince her father to let her travel to England for work. This wasn't the full truth. Yes she was going to work but she was also going to be spending a lot of time with her boyfriend.

The couple had decided to meet up in the British capital as Zara had an apartment there, it was a good distance from either of their families and they were both able to use work as an excuse without anybody questioning it. Max had told his family that he'd be in Milton Keynes practing on the simulator, while he told Christian that he'd be taking a trip to the Netherlands, specifically a hiking trip, making it hard for anyone to reach him. It all sounded juvenile but so far it proved to be working, especially with their friends working overtime to cover for them.

Arriving at her apartment building, Zara instantly noticed that there was an Aston Martin occupying her apartment's second parking spot. She squaeled in glee as she realised that Max was waiting for her upstairs. She quickly got her bags out the back and hurried to the elevator.

Max heard the jingle of the keys at the door, making him stop his activities in the kitchen. He smiled as he walked into the living room to see Zara struggling to pull her suitcases inside without making any noise.

"Booh!"
Zara screamed, frightened by the deep voice.
"Maaax. What the heck!? I was trying to surprise you."
"You did surprise me, by how many bags you bought with you!"
"Oh shut up, some of us actually have to work, you know. Anyways come here you. I'm so proud of you, and before you say it was only second place, let me just tell you that you even made my dad admit that you are good driver."

The Dutch laughed as he pulled her into his arms, lifting her up slightly so he could kiss her.
It felt so good to have someone to come home to after a race, the thought of her even attending the race and sitting in his garage, supporting him gave him butterflies. He was way beyond falling, he was hopelessly in love with the girl in his arms.

The next day the couple spent the morning in bed, only leaving to get food or go to the bathroom. But at noon Zara had to get ready for lunch with her friend, Jade Thirlwall. The two girls had met backstage at a music festival where they'd bonded over their pre-show traditions. Max had decided to do his daily workout while she was out.

"So how are you doing doll? I see you have a new man in your life."
Zara blushed at Jade's question. The geordie had told Zara to hold on to all the juicy details until they were together.

"Everything is great, you actually might know him. He's the guy from Ibiza last year."
Jade knew of Zara's summer fling from last year, so she was definitely happy to know that Zara was reunited with the first guy to make her smile in a very long time.

The two ladies spent the rest of their lunch date discussing their next projects. The blonde would be collaborating twice with Little Mix soon as she'd appear in their Meerkat festival performance before starting hers and then she'd guest star on their reality talent show later on in the year.

Coming home that evening, Zara didn't expect to see Max standing at the stove preparing dinner.

"Well look at you being all domestic and making dinner like a good house husband."
"Oh is that what I am now?"
Max cheekily replied.
"Uh huh, you stay at home and workout while I go out and secure the bag."
Zara could barely finish her sentence before they both burst into laughter.
